#AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania is the best of the trilogy. Higher stakes, dangers and repercussions. It also has one of the best villains in the MCU in #Kang.

Thus #AntManAndTheWaspQuantumania becomes the great sci-fi epic. Combining Star Wars, Fifth Element, Dune + Weird World. I don’t think it will work for everyone but I really liked this shade. It’s a bit chaotic towards the end, but it ends very well. Kang’s rules.February 7, 2023
